Google Mania

GoogleSo Google's stock price hit 400 yesterday. WSJ questions (subscription reqd!) the merit of this mania. Either way, I should have bought the stock post IPO. The problem was, the stock always seemed too overpriced, even for a company like Google, whether it was 200, 300 or now 400.

In a related vein, Henry Blodget from Internet Outsider attempts to solve the mystery that has baffled even me time and again - Who exactly clicks on Google sponsored ads? For some weird reason (in an attempt to not let "them" win maybe), I'll NEVER click on a sponsored link. If the link is useful, I'll mouseover to get the URL and then type it manually in the address bar. Although I must admit, I'm changing this behavior lately for all free ad supported websites I like.
